# Product Registration

The Manufacturer can register products by providing the [Product Model](/docs/product-models) and the descriptive data (e.g., Serial Number, Properties). This operation can be done one product at a time, or in bulk through a CSV file. Both options are allowed from the API or from the UI by using the [*register-things-widget*](/docs/register-things-widget).

The following information must be provided during the product registration:

- *Product Model*: the name of the [Product Model](/docs/product-models) associated with the product.
- *Serial Number*: the number used by the manufacturer to identify the product.

Optional information:

- *Name*: the name associated with the product (e.g., Boiler Auriga 100).
- *Properties*: the additional properties (e.g,. properties.size).

This is an example of CSV, which can be used in bulk product registration.

```excel
serialNumber,prodcutModelName
BO-123,Boiler Auriga 100
```

This is an example of CSV with additional properties

```excel
name,serialNumber,prodcutModelName,properties.power
Auriga 100,BO-123,Boiler Auriga 100,24kw
```

You can leverage the DPS API to register things; for more details, refer to the [Register Things](/apidocs/register-things-1) endpoint.

## Things and Sub Things

This is an example of a CSV with a [composite thing](/docs/composite-thing-management) (root thing and sub-thing) registration.

```excel
serialNumber,name,productModelName,parentThingSerialNumber,productModelPartName
M-123,M-123,M-ABC,,
M-123_UNIT_1,Unit 1,,M-123,SUB-UNIT
M-123_UNIT_2,Unit 2,,M-123,SUB-UNIT
M-123_MOD_A,Module A,,M-123_UNIT_1,UNIT-MODULE
M-123_MOD_B,Module B,,M-123_UNIT_2,UNIT-MODULE
M-123_MOD_C,Module C,,M-123_UNIT_3,UNIT-MODULE
```

To activate a composite thing, it is sufficient to activate the root thing, and all recursive sub-things are also activated. In case the [*Things Inventory Management*](/docs/migrating-to-product-models) is still by Thing Definition, instead of the name of the product model, you should provide the `thingDefinitionName`.

```excel
name,serialNumber,thingDefinitionName,properties.power
Auriga 100,BO-123,Boiler Auriga 100,24kw
```
